Note: This table is excerpted from GAO-14-244. For more details, see the report.aAccording to DOD officials, the department did not use its reprogramming and transfer authority to directly mitigate the effects of sequestration. However, the flexibility to transfer or reprogram funds to cover expenses for overseas contingency operations that otherwise would have been funded by other areas in the budget allowed DOD to reverse some actions taken to achieve spending reductions.
